I doubt they wanted to cripple the US and I don't think they did. I think they wanted to change the power balance between themselves and the Fed, though, which consequently led to a market correction.

Fair enough. I just meant no one in the conversation thus far had implied that. State monetary policy, in and of itself, is immoral. So, I guess I'm also saying it.

Monetary policies are immoral, too. Governments manipulating money to hold their power.
